SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 784,058, dated March'7, 1905.

Application filed March 15, 1904. Serial No. 198,293.

To It whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, lVTAI-ESDEN MANsoN and HARRIs De HAVEN ()oNNIoK,citizens of the United States, residing in the city and county of SanFrancisco and State of California, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Globes, of which the following is a specification.

- Our invention relates to globes or other round bodies; and itparticularly relates to globes which are used for educational purposes,the educational matter being represented or impressed on the globe inany desired manner.

Our invention also has reference to a support for a globe.

We will describe aglobe embodying our invention and a support thereforalso embodying our invention and then point out their novel features inclaims.

in the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 a perspective view of a globe anda support therefor, each embodying our invention. Figs. 2 and 3 aredetail views showing a method of attachment of an axis at the respectivepole-sections of the globe. Fig. iis a vertical section of a globe withthe axis horizontal. Fig. 5 is an enlarged view showing a method ofmounting the globe. Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail vertical sectionalview. Fig. 7 is a detail view of one of the sections of the globe.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all of thefigures.

Referring now to the drawings, A designates a globe which is constructedof a number of independent sections. in the drawings the globe is shownas comprising eight sections, each of which is substantially ellipticalor lune-shaped as to contour. Each section (see Fig. 7) comprises acurved surface rt, side flanges 61/, and end flanges a. In forming theglobe the sections are united with each other in any desired way-forexample, by rivets a, passing through the side flanges. (See Fig. 4.)The end flanges of the sections when assembled form opposite openings,which receive what we term polar sections B and U. These polar sectionsmay be detachable from the elliptical sections or they may be fastenedthereto. Each section is preferably of metal and may be formed into theproper shape by any desired means or manner-as, for example, by atwo-part die. The polar sections may be similarly formed or by any otherdesired means.

In the event of the globe being made for educational purposes, andespecially for the study of geography, the educational matter may beplaced on the globe in any desired manner. Preferably for the study ofphysical geography each section may have impressed upon it at the timeof its formation by the die a portion of the earth or heavens or heavensand earth, one part of the die being especially prepared for thispurpose. Each eighth section of the globe will therefore be forty-livedegrees of the circumference of the earth, onthree hour-meridians. Thepolar sections may be treated in the same manner to illustrate the polarfeatures of the earth. lnstead of having a single die for both formingand impressing each section separate dies may be used for impressing-thesections or they may be decorated in any desired manner.

1) designates an axis which may be of any construction and material,preferably metal. At one end it is provided with two screwthreads d all,here shown as being of dillierr-mt diameters and with a detachablehandpiece d", and at its other end with a shoulder (1 andascrew-threaded portion d. in mounting the globe on its axis one of thepolepieces-for example, the pole-piece U is placed in position on thescrew-thread (I, a screw-threaded boss 0 being provided on thepole-piece to permit of this. A nut d is then placed on thescrew-threaded portion (1 and against the polar section U. 'llheotherend of the axis is then passed through an opening in the polar section Band a nut (1" placed on the screw-threaded portion (1" and turnedthereon to draw the two polar sections B and G into their respectiveopenings. The flange or shoulder d serves to prevent any distortion ofthe polar section B by the nutd The flanges a of the sectionsconstituting the walls of the openings for the polar sections B and C,are preferably inclined, as are the walls of the polar sections, inorder that a tightjoint may be made and also to prevent the polarsections being forced into the globe. Any other means for accomplishingthis may be employed. By this construction the axis acts as a tie-braceto the circular chords produced by the flanges of the sections, therebyadding stiflness to the structure. It will be understood, of course,that the several screw-threads are cut in directions which willpreventone nut or thread becoming loosened while a nut is being screwedonto another thread. The cylindrical portions beyond the pole-pieces areused as journals, as will be hereinafter described.

E designates a semicircular frame-piece, channel, or beam of any desiredconstruction. It is provided with bearings 12 6 at its ends, whichreceive the cylindrical portions (Z of the axis D. The bearings e c areprovided with removable caps The function of this semicircular frame orbeam is to permit of the axis being placed at various angles with thehorizontal or parallel with that of the earth.

To enable this to be done, the frame is mounted on roller-bearings.

F designates a suitable stand or support, and F a pair of bracketssecured at its ends to the support F. F designates a pair of rollersremovably journaled in the brackets F in about the same horizontalplane, and F a roller removably journaled in elongated openings in thebrackets F in a plane outside of the horizontal plane of the rollers ISprings F, secured at one of their ends to the brackets F, have theirfree ends extending through openings in the shaft of the roller F orthey may bear upon the shaft.

In mounting the frame E on the-stand the roller F is first removed toallow the frame E to rest on the rollers F after which the roller F isreplaced in the brackets and in the channel of the frame or beam. Thisarrangement admits of the frame E being securely and easily moved on thestand.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new is- 1. A globecomprising a number of independent sections secured together andpolesections.

2. A globe comprising a number of independent sections secured together,pole-sections and means for securing the pole-sections in place.

3. A globe comprising a number of independent sections secured together,pole-pieces, and an axis extending through the pole-pieces, and meansfor securing the pole-pieces and axis together.

t. The combination with a globe comprising a number of independentsections secured together, pole-pieces, and an axis, of a frame in whichsaid axis is journaled and a stand on which said frame is movable.

5. A globe made of flanged lune-shaped sections fastened togetherthrough the flanges.

6. Aglobe made of lune-shaped sections fastened together, and insertedpolar sections.

7. A globe made of flanged lune-shaped sections'fastened togetherthrough the flanges and inserted polar sections.

8. A globe having separable inserted polar sections.

9. In combination with a globe, an axis on which it is mounted extendingthrough the poles, each end of said axis having an extension beyond thesurface of the globe, part of which is screw-threaded to receive a nut,andthe remainder smooth to act as a trunnion for rotating the globe.

10. In combination with a globe, an axis extending from pole to pole andsecured in a suitable manner to the globe at its poles, extensions forsaid axis, and means in which said extensions are journaled.

11. In combination with a globe, an axis for said pole havingscrew-threaded portions and nuts fitting on said screw-threadedportions.

12. In combination with a globe, polar sections for said globe, an axisextending through said polar sections provided with a screwthreadedportion and a flange at one end, a nut for clamping the polar section atthat end against the flange, and provided with two screw-threadedportions at its other end, one of which receives a boss carried by theother polar section another of which receives a nut. In testimonywhereof We have hereunto signed our names in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
